for one thing, a table is a great way of representing relations (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Relation.html). data tables are the canonical example but very often a form's structure is a relation, e.g. between labels and input fields, or between multiple input fields. some of the best designed and behaving web sites i know use tables in ways that a list apart would consider heathen.
Heresy! :-) However, there are occasions such as in a calendar where not using a table would be more than difficult.
Calendars are tabular data and thus a table is right way to do it.
